Two days ago there was
a move by Education Secretary Michael Gove of UK , to drop the American classic OF
MICE AND MEN , written by John Steinbeck from the revised GCSE English exam syllabus .

What a disgrace !

I read this book at the
age of 11—and my school librarian teacher ( Kendriya Vidyalaya Calicut ) asked me if I am capable of
understanding this book.

I told her “Piece of cake
!”

This book made such a
major impact on my mind — that I can even dare to say, that it re-programmed my
DNA , when it came to supporting an underdog, where gross injustice was done ..

Two years ago we had a
school reunion . You can read about it-

OLD ALUMNI MEET
VADAKAYIL

General Certificate of
Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification awarded in a specified
subject, generally taken in a number of
subjects by students aged 14-16 in secondary education in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland.

Of Mice and Men is a
novel written by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it tells the story of
George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move
from place to place in search of new job opportunities during the Great
Depression in California, United States.

They were kicking out
this classic book , in favor of a stupid Shakespeare’s play.

Probably the stiff
upper lip of the Limey , took preponderance.

“Of Mice and Men” has
been a frequent target of censors for vulgarity and what some consider
offensive and racist language. So what, the undiluted true depiction is what
makes this book great.

Lennie Small is a
mentally challenged but physically strong man who travels with George Milton ,
and is his constant companion. He dreams
of "living off the fatta' the lan'"
and being able to tend to rabbits.

His love for soft things conspires against him-- he is unaware of his
own great physical strength, and eventually , this becomes his undoing. George Milton is quick-witted man who is
dimwit Lennie's guardian and best friend.

And then much later in
life I saw a Malayalam movie SOORYA MANASAM where Malayalam megastar Mammotty did the honours
for Lennie , the retard.

Instead of stroking soft rabbits like Lennie, Mammotty talks often about his favourite dish
PUTTU AND KADALA which he loves to eat.

Below: In the Malayalam movie George is substituted by Lennie's mother.

John Steinbeck lifted
the title -- it is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse", which read:
"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley." (The best
laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry.)

STOP PRESS:

THE NEWS HAS POPPED OUT
30 MINUTES AGO—

The book "Of Mice and men" of John
Steinbeck have been scrubbed from the syllabus for GCSE English literature
exams, and replaced by Meera Syal's BULLSH#T BOOK “Anita and Me”.

So she is being rewarded for Iran baiting – she
had written about the religious persecution of bahais in Iran.

"Anita and me" revolves
around Meena, a British Punjabi girl (herself), and her relationship with her
English neighbour Anita as they grow up. This near autobiography
tells us how Meena (the author ) refuses
to be the chaste, obedient "good Punjabi girl" that her Indian relatives
want. In this book Anita, accuses Meena of being a lesbian.

You may wonder why I
have said that withdrawing this book “ Of Mice and men “ is a mindless act.

Telling a child to
watch a movie and then write a review is a great way to check out the child’s
perception.

You can check out the
capability of the child to get past the onion layers and arrive at the core. Very few perceptive people can get to the core
of a great classic .

It is NOT worth getting
to the core of Meera Syal’s pedestrian book “Anita and me"

I have written two
movie reviews myself.

Let me see how many people on this planet can
write a better review.

SUPER PANCHATANTRA VADAKAYIL

Slimy Mani thinks you
have to read Hamlet in the morning and have a tete e tete with Shashi Tharoor
in the evening , to be an intellectual--- TEE HEEEE !

This
was when he created all that controversy when he ridiculed Hansraj College and
Kirorimal College for NOT producing his type of intellectuals..

Above: Probably our great self confessed intellectual Mani, can add a moral to Super Panchatantra , to save his own life ?

Before I launch into
the story line, I must give a brief introduction of the main character , a
dimwit named Lennie.

Lennie, in Steinbeck's
scheme, is the symbolic essence of the American worker, the man who labors
endlessly and asks for nothing because he never quite realizes all he's giving.

In Archie comics you must
have read about the Moose- Dilton combo on the beach. Well Lennie is Moose –sort of . Moose is NOT a retard, Lennie is one.

Below: They made a Hollywood movie-- Lennie the lumbering simpleton , is to the right .

George ( Senise ) is Lennie's ( Malkovitch ) protector, having promised Lennie's aunt he would take care of Lennie after she
died.

Since Lennie is
mentally challenged , George has got to walk him through every day life. George
mistakenly believes that he can protect Lennie from himself because Lennie will
do anything George says .

Lennie is totally
devoted to George like how a dog is devoted to its master, and he tries his best to follow George's
commands to the T.

There was this time
when George told Lennie to jump into the river ,and he did so without ado, and nearly lost
his life.Since that incident George,though quick witted , was wary of what he
could tell Lennie.

There is a black man
named Crooks who is not allowed in the bunkhouse with the white ranch hands, an
example of American racism in those days . Crooks had to make himself comfortable in the barn with the ranch animals. Lennie has NO idea why Crooks sleeps in the
barn.

But strangely Lennie
always remembers his dream of co- owning his own farm with George . Lennie
knows the words of the dream by heart, and he can finish the sentences even though he
does not remember where he and George are going tomorrow or figure out anything
else on his own. George's voice, echoing
this dream, seems almost like a prayer.

He emphasizes that the
dream makes them special; they are different from other wandering migrants who
have no family and no home. They have each other, and some day they will have a
farm of their own where they can "live off the fatta the lan'."

George never really
believes in this farm, but Lennie embraces it with childlike enthusiasm. Every
time he makes George tell their same story again and again , his enthusiasm ingnites
the mind of George. Lennie's innocence keeps the dream alive. Without Lennie,
George would be just like the other hands, wasting money on booze and whores , but
with Lennie, George has a strong sense of responsibility.

Lennie's interpretation
of this oft repeated dream is that he will get to tend them rabbits — soft,
furry animals that will provide him with that feeling of security. This farm is a place where he won't be scared
or running, because he has "done a bad thing." Lennie's voice fills with unbridled joy because
safety means soft things and tending the rabbits.

Lennie's greatest
feeling of security comes from petting soft things. When the rest of the world gets complicated
and scary, petting soft things somehow helps Lennie feel safe. In
petting dead mice, Lennie is doing something that makes him feel safe. Society as a whole would disapprove of what he
is doing, but Lennie is NOT bright
enough to see wrong in his actions.

When George says that
Curley's wife seems like a "tramp," Lennie responds that he thinks
she is "purty," causing George to warn Lennie to keep away from
her.

Despite being a dimwit
, Lennie feels in his gut, the churning of a potent mix , the menace coming from the mean bully Curley
and the seductive temptation of his gorgeous wife.

Lennie, who feels
things instinctively, as an animal does, says, "I don't like this place,
George. This ain't no good place. I wanna get out”. See how well Steinbeck has fleshed out his
characters .

While Lennie acts with
great loyalty to George, he has no comprehension of the idea of
"loyalty." For that reason, he often does not mean to do the things that
get him into trouble, and once he does get into trouble , he has no conscience
to define his actions in terms of guilt.

Lennie only defines them in terms of
consequences while lamenting : "George is gonna give me hell" or
"Now George won't let me tend them rabbits.".

Sometimes Goerge gets
pissed off with lennie. When Lennie
hears that they are going have beans for dinner, he wants ketchup to go along , to which George responds
that they do not have any. At night, as
George and Lennie are eating beans for dinner, Lennie keeps asking for ketchup.

George gets hot under the collar and tells him that whatever they do not
have is what Lennie always wants to have, and he is sick and tired of all this . This leaves Lennie puzzled, as he does NOT
remember their earlier conversation.

But Lennie always remembers the farm they
would own and the rabbits hopping around in the farm.

George eases tensions by telling Lennie his favorite story ,
allowing Lennie to complete his sentences about their future farm . Lennie
would get terribly excited and implore “And will
there be rabbits, George?”

“Yeah, Lennie. There'll be rabbits.” George would
respond . Their last conversation before
George shoots Lennie on the back of his head , to save him from painful death
in the hands of a mob , would be the same .

The book starts of with Lennie causing trouble because of his penchant to stroke soft things . When
Lennie touched a girl's fluffy dress, the girl screamed. Lennie got so scared that George had to hit
him with a fence post to get him to let her go. The girl hollered that she had been raped, and
so Lennie and George hid in an irrigation ditch and slunk away at night.

Lennie somehow is able
to differentiate the level of bad things he can do to make George angry. He
knows that it is a bad thing , that he killed the soft pup by stoking too hard
, and he knows that it is a worse thing to
kill Curley's wife, when she allowed him to stroke her soft hair.

This is evidenced
by his decision to run to the bushes near the river , where George would seek
him out. However, he doesn't fully
comprehend the implications of human death, as evidenced by his taking the dead
pup body with him so that George wouldn't see it as well.

Lennie's simple reasoning is that the body of
Curley's wife is bad enough; the body of the pup would compound the wrong done —and
he did NOT want both dead bodies to be in the same place for George to see .

Characters:

George Milton: Lennie’s
guardian after the death of his aunt.

by picking fights with larger men.

Mae: A young, attractive woman, who is loves to makes
her husband Curley jealous by flirting, to get his attention.

Story line:-

The novel opens with George
Milton and Lennie Small, walking to a ranch near Soledad in California's San
Joaquin Valley, where harvesting jobs are for grabs. . Both men carry blanket rolls — called
bindles — on their shoulders . They both
wear similar clothes ,and the larger man imitates the smaller.

George and Lennie
escape from the previous ranch , hop on board a train, and obtain work passes
from a new town. A bus was supposed to transport them to a new ranch for work,
but the bus driver drops the duo 10 miles off.

George, the smaller
man, leads the way and makes the decisions for Lennie, the hulking retard.

They stop at a stream
for the evening, deciding to go to Tyler ranch in the morning. When Lennie
drops near the pool's edge and begins to drink like a hungry animal, George
cautions him that the water may not be good. This advice is necessary because
Lennie cant figure out any possible dangers.

Lennie, who loves to
pet anything soft, has a dead mouse in his pocket. George takes the mouse away
from Lennie and reminds him of the trouble Lennie got into in the last town
they were in — he touched a girl's soft red dress and caused her to holler—“rape”.

George then reminds
Lennie not to speak to anyone in the morning when they get to the ranch and
cautions Lennie to return to the exact spot by the river if anything bad
happens at the ranch, while he was not present.

When he has to take the
dead mouse away from Lennie a second time, George bitches at the hardship of
taking care of Lennie. Because Lennie
forgets things very quickly, George must make him repeat even the simplest of instructions.

George tells that if he did not have
Lennie he would be done with a huge responsibility. He could go to town, drink
when he wanted, have a girlfriend, shoot pool, and, in general, have a life.

Lennie sobs and offers
to leave and go live in a cave. Seeing
Lennie looking forlorn George makes up
and promises Lennie that he will soon get him a soft puppy to cuddle . He tells Lennie about their dream of having a
little farm where they can be their own boss and nobody can tell them what to
do, where Lennie will tend their rabbits, and where they will "live off
the fatta the lan'."

Lennie has heard this
story so often he can repeat it by heart. And George emphasizes that this dream
and their relationship make them different from other guys who don't have
anyone or a place of their own. They settle down and sleep for the night. .
Before George falls asleep, Lennie tells him they must have many rabbits of
various colors.

The next morning at the
ranch, the boss Jackson becomes suspicious when George answers all the
questions and acts as a mouth piece for Lennie . George explains that Lennie is
not too bright but is strong as a bull and a great worker.

They meet Candy, an old
swamper with an old sheep dog –(his right hand is simply a stump because he
lost his hand in a ranch accident): Crooks, the black stable hand; the boss' mean son Curley, who is an amateur
boxer and has a bad temper; Curley's wife, who has a reputation as a
"tart"; Carlson, another ranch
hand; and Slim, the chief mule skinner.

Candy
tells George that Curley's wife is pretty but she has "got the eye,"
and she flirts with Slim and Carlson.

Upon seeing Curley's
wife, Lennie is fascinated with her and George warns him to stay away from her
and Curley.

The die is already cast .

"I don't like this
place, George. This ain't a good place." But George reminds Lennie that they
must stay long enough to make a stake for their farm.

That evening, Carlson
complains bitterly about Candy's dog, which is old, arthritic, and smells. He
offers to kill the dog for Candy, and Candy reluctantly agrees to let him do
so. Candy's greatest fear is that once he is no longer able to help with the
cleaning he will too be "disposed of." Like his old dog, he has lived
beyond his usefulness.

Later, after the others have gone to the barn,
hoping to witness a fight between Slim and Curley over Curley's wife, Lennie
and George are alone in the bunkhouse. Lennie wants to hear the story of their
farm again, and George retells the dream. Candy overhears and convinces George
and Lennie to let him in on the plan because he has some saved money for a down
payment. George excitedly
believes that, with Candy's 400 dollars , they can swing the payment for a
ranch he knows of; he figures one more month of work will secure the rest of
the money they need. He cautions Lennie and Candy not to tell anyone.

The ranch hands return,
making fun of Curley for backing down to Slim.

George and Lennie's
dream is foreshadowed when Curley thinks that Lennie is smirking at him. Curley
is pissed off and picks a fight with Lennie, brutally using Lennie as a punching
bag. George seeing Lennie bleed shouts
at Lennie and exhorts to give back as good as he got.

Lennie crushed the bones
of Curley's hand. Taking Curley to a doctor, Slim secures Curley's promise to say
his hand got caught in a machine so Lennie and George won't get fired.

Lennie is afraid he has
done "a bad thing" and that George won't let him tend them rabbits no
more. George explains that Lennie did
not mean to hurt Curley and that he aint in no trouble.

Lennie tells Crooks
about the plans to buy a farm, and Crooks says he would like to join them and
work for nothing.

Mae sees Lennie's
bloodied and bruised face, and she figures out who crushed her husband’s hand.

The gears of fate now
turn fast .

A frenzied Mae
confronts her husband , the guy with a walking Napoleon complex. She taunts him, calling him "a punk
with a crippled hand!" . She knows
her husband visits the whore house every Saturday night , screwing lesser women, and is bitter.

Curley senses that Mae is
unhappy , lonely , sex-starved, bored and locked into a loveless marriage, and
a ranch life she does not really care for. Mae
knows her beauty is her power, and she has used it to flirt with the ranch hands
and make her husband jealous.

The aggravated Curley sreams
at her, telling her their marriage is
over, and that she is gonna be kicked out of the ranch due to her wanton “ I am
available” behavior, and endless throwing herself at the ranch hands.

She continues to laugh maniacally until her
laughter turns into sobbing, realizing she is now done for.

Before she can leave,
Mae enters the barn to pet a few of Slim's puppies, where she spots Lennie
crying alone, after he killed his puppy by stroking it too hard.

When Lennie tries to
leave knowing he should not be talking to Mae as ordered by George, she stops
him from leaving and forces him to talk to her. Because there is a horseshoe
tournament going on until dusk, Mae plans to talk with him uninterrupted.

Mae
explains to Lennie of what she wanted to be before Curley shattered her dream. .
Her "best laid plans" involved a stint in the movies with all the
benefits, money, and pleasure that would provide.

All the while Mae is
jabbering, Lennie, is trying hard to figure out how to get rid of the dead pup
so that George won't know.

When Lennie tells Mae
that he loves to stroke soft things, Mae offers her hair for Lennie to stroke , telling
him not to "muss it up." Mae starts to resist and scream in pain when Lennie
strokes her hair too hard.

Thinking she will shout
rape, like the woman with the purty red dress , of the ranch at Leed , from where
he and George has to run for their lives, Lennie tries to silence Mae. He is unaware of his own brute strength and inadvertently
breaks her neck.

Below: If Mae shouts RAPE, like the woman in the soft red dress at the last ranch, that would be the end of the "farm" dream.

Lennie panics and paws
the hay to partially cover her. Hearing the clink horseshoe game outside, he
understands that someone will come in sooner or later and discover the bad
thing he has done.

Knowing he has done
something really bad, he runs to the hiding place by the stream. He remembers George’s
words at this hour of deep distress .

Lennie is by the deep
pool of the Salinas River, waiting for George. He talks to himself, repeating
that George will be mad and will give him hell. From his memory, he creates his Aunt
Clara, who stares disapprovingly and scolds him because once again he did not
listen to George.

Then Aunt Clara disappears and is replaced in Lennie's mind
by a giant rabbit, who takes over from where Aunt Clara's left off -- of scolding Lennie and tells him
he cannot tend the rabbits and that George will beat Lennie with a stick. Lennie protests that George has never "raised his han' to me with a
stick." But the rabbit persists, and Lennie puts his hands over his ears
and calls out in sheer desperation for George.

Candy finds the dead body
of Curley's wife and goes for George; both men immediately know what has
happened. Candy knows that Curley will
organize a lynching posse, and George says he is not going to let them hurt
Lennie.

Candy asserts that he
and George can still have their farm, but George realizes that it will never
happen. Now George has no dream, and he will end up working like the other
ranch hands and spending his money in a poolroom or "some lousy cat
house."

Without Lennie, the
dream is gone and perhaps it was a pipe dream , which never really existed
except in the words that made Lennie's happiness complete.

George asks Candy to
wait a few minutes before he calls the others; then he slips into the bunkhouse
and steals Carlson's Luger. When Curley comes and sees his murdered wife, he
vows to kill Lennie slowly and painfully. George joins the men searching for
Lennie.

As they spread out,
George alone goes straight for the riverside spot where he finds Lennie.

Coming silently through
the bushes, George asks Lennie what he is yelling about. Lennie describes his
fears of George leaving and confesses that he has once again done a bad thing. Strangely silent, George explains that it does not matter this time.

Lennie knows he has
done "a bad thing" and expects George to scold and lecture him. George, however, is so overcome with remorse
that he cannot scold Lennie, but must save him from Curley's cruelty and painful
retribution .

He tells Lennie to look
across the river and imagine their little farm. George describes it, as he has
done many times before, and while Lennie is smiling with pleasure and
envisioning the rabbits he will soon get to pet and tend.

When Lennie realizes that George aint
gonna beat him he cries- "An' I got you. We got each other, that's what,
that gives a hoot in hell about us."

Lennie cries out "Le's
do it now. Le's get that place now,"

George replied,
"Sure, right now. I gotta. We gotta," and shot Lennie on the back of
his head . George shoots him as Carlson shot Candy's dog, and like the dog,
without a quiver, Lennie dies.

Earlier in the novel, Slim told Candy it would
be better to put his dog down, better for their "society" as a whole.
Candy had no other merciful options for his dog, and George sees no other
options for Lennie.

The others arrive, and
George leads them to believe Lennie had Carlson's gun which George wrestled
away from him and shot in self-defense. Only Slim , always the sane voice of reason,
comprehends the truth, and he takes George off up the footpath for a drink.

Only
Slim realizes that George killed Lennie out of love. Curley and Carlson look
on, unable to comprehend the subdued and sombre mood of the two men. Slim, tries his best
to cheer up a disconsolate George ."An s'pose they lock him up an' strap
him down and put him in a cage. That ain't no good, George."

"Of Mice and
Men" is a recollection of a simpler way of life that was swept aside by
the realities of the Great Depression and all the momentous social changes that
followed. George is father, mother ,brother and mentor to Lennie. The two men are a mismatched couple, making do
with what fate has dealt them.

Of Mice and Men was
adapted for the silver screen several times.

The first adaptation was in 1939, two
years after the publication of the novella, and starred Lon Chaney Jr. as
Lennie, with Burgess Meredith as George, and was directed by Lewis Milestone.
It was nominated for four Oscars.

The Hollywood movie of
1992, is directed by Gary Sinise, who was nominated for the Palme d'Or at
Cannes. Sinise also played George in
the film, and the role of Lennie was played by John Malkovich.

Of Mice and Men takes
place during America's Great Depression, which lasted from the Stock Market
Crash of October 1929 until 12 years later when World War II began.

By the time Steinbeck wrote Of Mice and Men, the
itinerant ranch hands were beginning to be replaced by machinery, and their way
of life was fast disappearing .

Of Mice and Men is a
dark tale, a parable of men journeying through a world of pitfalls and heart
wrenching inhumane experiences.

This novel has been
banned from various US public and school libraries or curricula for allegedly
"promoting euthanasia", "condoning racial slurs", being
"anti-business", containing profanity, and generally containing
"vulgar" and "offensive language". Oh boy !

Check out how easily John
Steinbeck draws you into the vortex of a unique journey of these two men —
Lennie and George — as we witness their
dreams, their hopes, and their courage.

George's words echo the
prophesy of Crooks when he imagines what his life will be like without Lennie: "I'll work my month an' I'll take my fifty bucks an' I'll stay all night
in some lousy cat house. Or I'll set in
some poolroom till ever'body goes home. An' then I'll come back an' work
another month an' I'll have fifty bucks more."

Gone is the dream,
blown away by the winds .

Gone are the complaints
about what he could do and how well he would be on the journey of life if he did not
have Lennie around his neck like a millstone.
Now he will be alone, like everyone else. George does NOT realize it was Lennie who
sprouted the farm dream and nourished it almost like a self fulfilling
prophecy.

As Lennie often says to
George, "I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you
…." In this way, they are not like the other ranch hands, who "are
the loneliest guys in the world."

I ask my readers— judge
this book ( of great literary value ) only after you read it. You will NOT be disappointed.

A quote from the CORE :

“I ought to of shot
that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog.”-CURLEY

MORAL :

The moment Lennie first
met mean aggressive Curlie and his seductive wife Mae he wanted out. George
ignored his feelings.

Even dimwits have gut
feelings—as this has NOTHING to do with the damaged brain.
